The Ministry of National Defense released the exercise plan from August 4 to August 7, and gave six major exercise areas around Taiwan Island.

　　If you just look at the picture of the Ministry of National Defense, the amount of information is a bit small. What you can see is that six exercise areas have been drawn around Taiwan Province, but in fact, these six exercise areas are very mysterious.

　　Before chatting, I will explain the legend first:

　　Black border and black dot area: exercise area for the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis

　　Red-edged red-dot area (A1 - A6): August 4-7, 2022 exercise area

　　Solid blue line: the so-called "Taiwan Strait Middle Line"

　　Light gray line around Taiwan Island: "territorial sea" marking 12 nautical miles of Taiwan Island

　　From this picture we can see that this is a standard rehearsal of encircling Taiwan.

　　First, the three major exercise areas, A2, A3, and A6, blocked the entry and exit routes of several major cities in Taiwan.

Any vessel entering or leaving Taiwan basically needs to pass through the existing waterways in the A2, A3, and A6 areas.

　　Second, the A1 area is directly stuck at the center line of the Taiwan Strait, which is equivalent to occupying the most important waterway of the Taiwan Strait, and it is equivalent to directly refusing to recognize the existence of the so-called "center line of the Taiwan Strait".

　　Third, the A2, A3, and A6 areas have directly penetrated into Taiwan's so-called "12-nautical-mile territorial waters" and directly do not recognize Taiwan's so-called "territorial sea baselines". This is a real pain point for Taiwan independence.

In the military exercise here, if Taiwan's military wants to block it, we can push it directly; if we don't block it, we will directly attack the arrogance of Taiwan independence.

This is also the essence of "you hit you, I hit me" and "beat Jiang ship not US ship".

　　Fourth, pay attention to the A5 area, which is located in the center of the Bashi Strait, an important waterway between Taiwan and the Philippines, which is equivalent to controlling the Bashi Channel and echoing the A1 area that controls the Taiwan Strait, which is equivalent to completely blocking the western and southern parts of Taiwan. channel.

Blocking these two important waterways is also equivalent to sending a message to Japan, which relies on these two important waterways: do not act rashly.

　　Fifth, the A4 area is located near Ishigaki Island in Japan, and it forms a corner with the A3 area, which can block incoming enemies from the direction of Ishigaki Island.

Areas A1 and A5 control important maritime routes, while A3 and A4 restrain Japan's possible increase in troops. It can be expected that Japan has made full preparations for possible intervention in the situation in the Taiwan Strait.

　　Sixth, Taiwan's energy supply is extremely dependent on shipping. At present, Taiwan's natural gas and oil reserves can be used for about 7 days, and the frequency of supply is once every 3 to 4 days.

The time of this exercise is exactly 3 days. Under the circumstance of the blockade against Taiwan, it has created a major threat to Taiwan's energy supply.

　　Seventh, compared to the exercise area of ​​the 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis, our exercise is closer to Taiwan mainland, and the density of the exercise area has also greatly increased.

The 1996 exercise did not block or deter the eastern part of Taiwan, but this exercise we made up for this gap, and in Taipei and Kaohsiung, the two most important cities in Taiwan, the coasts have both broken through the so-called 12 nautical miles. "Baseline of the territorial sea".

　　Pelosi landed in Taiwan, but it did not bring any substantial benefits to Taiwan, and it is impossible for the United States to be willing to send troops to protect Taiwan because she landed in Taiwan. God, let the mainland friends feel depressed for a few days.

　　Pelosi's landing in Taiwan is not the end, but only the beginning. Tomorrow, she patted her butt and left, leaving the Taiwan authorities in a mess.

　　Next, please be patient, it's our turn to play cards.
